I was watching the Today Show yesterday, and was watching an interview with Alaina Giordano, a mother who has lost custody of her children after a judge ruled that she could no longer take care of them. She is battling stage 4 breast cancer. I was so appalled that a judge would take this poor woman’s children from her, in what could be her final months/years on this planet. (Watch the interview here)

Then fast forward today, and we have sociopath Kerry Campbell, who is allowed to keep custody of her daughter, after subjecting the 8-year-old to botox injections. WHAT!?

We first told you about Britney Campbell of San Francisco in March — she’s the eight-year-old aspiring pageant queen already dabbling in Botox and virgin waxes, courtesy of her mom, Kerry. The pair appeared on Thursday’s “Good Morning America” to talk about the extreme beauty regimen with Lara Spencer.

Spencer asked Britney questions worthy of a horrifying “Law & Order: SVU” episode: can you show me where you do it? Can you point on your face? Of the Botox, Britney remarked, “It hurt sometimes, but I get used to it,” and of the waxing, “It was super, super hard to deal with that…I just don’t think it’s ladylike to have hair on your legs,” however adding that she won’t do it again. At least not for a while.

Kerry confessed that Britney didn’t actually request either treatment, noting, “We talked about it. She didn’t exactly ask me about it but I know that she was complaining about her face having wrinkles and things like that,” to which Spencer said, “My son will come home and tell me he wants every Xbox game that existed…that doesn’t mean you get it for them.” Snap!

But, seriously — then came a slew of photos depicting Britney with bruises, puffy cheeks and ice packs. In the end, the child says she “looks way better, like, beautiful, pretty, like, all those kinds of nice words.” And that might be the most heartbreaking part.

Kim Kardashian is setting the record straight about her opinion of Botox.

On the September 6th episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians called “Botox and Cigarettes,” Kim received Botox injections. Afterwards, her eyes puffed up and there was some visible bruising on her face.

Today Kim took to her blog to clear the air:

“I’ve been getting lots of emails and comments regarding the botox [sic] episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians so I wanted to address this today to clear some things up. On the show you saw I had some bruising around my eyes after the procedure, which is totally natural, but because I hadn’t looked into the side effects, I freaked out. In no way was Dr. Kassabian a bad doctor… it wasn’t a botched job at all!! I am not against botox, and I would never judge anyone else for getting any kind of surgical or non-surgical procedure, but I think when you’re young there are other ways you can look after your skin, and some amazing products on the market, like Fusion Beauty’s Illumifill, that help keep you looking young and beautiful. Botox just wasn’t necessary for me at this age.”

The socialite turns 30 next month and is currently traveling around Europe with mom, Kris Jenner.
